Color Settings Export Question

Hey all!

So I'm having trouble with the color on export from AE. I shot a test HDR video from my iPhone 15 Pro, and imported both into Premiere Pro and After Effects. Did nothing to adjust either, and exported using a preset I created (screenshot below). The AE file was exported through Media Encoder to ensure the same preset as the PR file.

The result of the image is dramatically different, and I'm just not sure if there's another setting I should be changing in AE to get the same image result as Premiere Pro? Played with all kinds of things, but can't seem to get it right. Any advice is appreciated!


End result clearly shows HDR through Pr, but not through Ae. 

Color portion of my preset:

    While the third video gave some interesting insight as to a workaround to bring Pr files to Ae and back with the same color profile, I was more looking for a solution to edit directly in Ae and have the same color managment and result. Is this not possible? Anyone have any input?

    Just to double check, are you actually trying to export a new HDR video again for delivering to an HDR supported platform for viewing in HDR on a capable device? Seems like a silly question but often gets overlooked or misunderstood.

     

    AE should be capable of exporting HDR files natively. Make sure you're using Adobe Color Managed with Rec.2100 PQ as the working color space. When exporting to AME make sure that in AME you use the same settings as in Premiere. Using the settings that came from AE initially will not be correct as they are way too limited. They are only practical for typical Rec.709 workflows.
